Enclave1440 sq � of formal housing shipped in a standard, 20’ shipping container.

Build-it-yourself onsite. No resources outside the shipping container are required.

Developed for slum dwellers who have no house, no water, and no sanitation.

*According to United Nations Economic Commission

1 Billion people live in informal settlements.�ese people’s communities lack: Running water & sanitation Durable walls Adequate living space A deed to a house.

Occupants cannot afford formal housing, so design must account for multiple parties

Live in the house and make it their own, but do not have the means to buy the house.

�e party that fronts the money will have to gi� houses to the owners. �ey must gain value from this.

Housing design must comply with government regulation for homeownership and utilities to be possible.

BuyersOwners Government

IdeationAll three parties: owners, buyers, and government were equally weighted in the ideation process.

Enclave�e low cost housing solution for investors to pro�t from upgrading slum dwellers.

Water CollectionExaggerated awnings and large overhangs create maximum surface area facing the sky. All exterior roof and �oor panels are milled at angles to channel rainwater into buckets.

Communal LivingIn extreme low income areas such as slums, the concept of personal ownership is non-existant. For this reason, Enclave is constructed and shared between multiple. families

Everything shipped in 20’Everything needed to create the enclave is shipped inside a 20’ shipping container. Material, tooling, a power source, and a toilet is designed to tightly �t into the crate.

Requires no running water to operate. Tubing is also included to make an elevated vent to dispurse fumes.

Composting Toilet

408 sheets of 4’ x 7’8” sheets of recycled, polyethelene material slide into the CNC machine to create the enclave.

Templates It takes 27 sheets of material to cut the pieces for a single segment. Minimizing material waste was priority one. Priority two was to plot the pieces in order so that they can be assembled immediately a�er removal from the CNC machine.

Upgrade & Invest�e robust frame of Enclave allows for investment into your house. Slum dwellers have no outlet to invest their funds, so Enclave has been created to give them a very functional way to do this.

�e double-walled frame allows the owner to apply new material to his exterior walls and add insulation to the interior.

Walls

�e base model has a standardized window cut to easily install improved windows.

Windows

Standard wire and pipe diameters are cut into the base model of the frame to allow for electric and water to be installed in the house.

JP Morgan purchased Mumbai slum land in 2002 for $280,000 per acre. Ten years later, it sold as a “low class neighborhood” for 4000% more than their initial investment.

If slum real estate can be upgraded to a “low class neighborhood,” the value will skyrocket.

The Problem The GoalMusic was not intended to be played as such a personal form of expression.

To create multiple mobile audio players that are as mobile as an ipod, thus promoting music to be played the way it was intended.

Scotty is a social techie with a dab of style. He is living the American dream as a bachelor just out of college, working for an advertising agency that keeps him constantly busy. He loves the work, however, as it keeps him travel-ing on a day to day basis.

Even with work and travel, Scotty stays social with his friends and family. He

has his IPhone on him at all times, using it to stay connected with people across the world via Facebook, Twit-

ter, and many other social networking systems.

Existing Problems

Speaker systems that must be plugged into the wall cannot keep up with music devices which can run for hours on a single battery charge.

Energy SourceWires are the leashes that chain speaker systems in one place. Re-lease the wires and the speaker will be able to wander freely.

Wires Music LimitationsHard-drives are soon to become a technology of the past. With The Cloud looming and websites like Pandora and Spotify at our finger-tips, music will never have to be physically stored again.

Interviews within the target market unearthed four broad, cross-market problems with existing audio devices.

Human FactorsExisting “portable” speakers look and feel no different than stagnant, permanent speakers. Very few er-ganomics and human factors are addressed.

Used to align multifunctional teams to the target market’s state of mind during ideation & decision-making phases.

Tech-savvy individuals who live trendy lifestyles and who are not afraid to share their likes, hobbies, and interests with others through the internet.

Audible Audio No Wires

Play music wirelessly with Bluetooth.

Powered by rechargeable lithium-ion bat-teries wrapped on the headband.

Play for yourself Play for friends

Headphones magnetically fold up to ex-pose projecting speakers for all to hear.

Stack and GoStack a few, or stack a lot. Multiple speakers can fit easily into any size bag on the go.

Unstack and wirelessly play via bluetooth for mobile, customizable surround sound.

Hidden Wire

The base speaker plugs into your com-puter’s usb port to recharge.

Only the base speaker has the usb cable. It wraps invisibly on the bottom when not in use.

Induction charging distributes electricity wirelessly within the stack.

Piezoelecticity

Piezoelectricity is the production of elec-tricity through vibrations or pressure fluctuations.

On each speaker sit eight piezoelectric reeds which vibrate with the music, thus

creating electricity.

The electricity produced by the piezoelec-tric speakers is piped into the main bat-

tery, drastically extending battery life.

Portability

A shoulder strap allows the boombox to be transported just like a bag. The strap is attached to spring loaded spools which snap it about the top of the box while sitting.

03

The “3rd space” for the College for Cre-

ative Studies and all who live, teach,

study, and work there.

Design & Creative Direction during

spring 2013

CI: Creative Initiatives

03This was a group project in which I acted as creative

director and account manager, as well as participating

designer. In all, I managed 24 student artists and de-

signers to create a pitch, get funding, design, and

execute this space.

Designed by the students

We distributed, collected, and analyzed over 200

surveys asking what students would do if they had

a vacant space on campus and unlimited funds.

In all, 15% of the entire school participated in our initial research. We

synthesized the results and found that the most students wanted a

place that did make them feel obligated to work, but had all of the

necessary facilities to work if they wanted - very much like a coffee

shop. This is where we started to define our direction.

Successful Benchmarks

We traveled to places on and off campus and

dissected the pieces we saw to encourage

interaction. Coffee shops, cafeterias, and

outdoor parks were at the top of the list, each

having different social interaction models.

Great Lakes Coffee Shop

Seating designed for a single

seater, small private groups,

or large parties of guests.

School Cafeteria

Seating extremely tight with

no armrests promotes so-

cial conversation between

strangers.

Park Benches

Dead-simple seating is used

for everything from sitting,

standing on, setting bags on,

laying down.

We began by documenting areas that we dubbed

conducive to socialization.

1 32

Design Parameters

We created a rubric for the ideal social space based

on trends found in our benchmark areas.

Incentive Environment

There must be an

environment condu-

cive to socialization.

There must be a good reason for

people to come to the space.

Engaging

That reason must be inter-

esting to the audience.Aesthetic

The space must be designed

beautifully and thoughtfully.

Location

The space must be positioned in an

easily accessible area

Atmosphere

The sensory conditions of the

space must be comfortable.

Functional

The space must function according to

how the guest wishes to use it.

Effortless

That reason must be easy

to attain for the audience.

Based on research that the entire group con-

ducted, this was used as the parameter to

measure good ideas vs better ideas during our

ideation and refinement phases. It took person-

al opinion out of the conversation during group

critique - necessary to keep the project rolling

with over 20 designers participating.

Preliminary Ideation

Based on our traits of an ideal social space, we began

sketching on functions & incentives of the space.

Digital Refinement

We created over 50 iterations of the space.

Mockup Ideation

We used the entire development budget available to us

on foamcore and tape to create a full scale, movable

mock up on location.

We fabricated building blocks with the standard

dimensions of a stool, chair, lounge, bar table,

dinner table, coffee table to play around with.

Each one was critiqued and refined during its

translation to a digital sketchup model.

Function Finalization

Interaction that the user has with

the space was the main design

Vacation Home Neauvoux

Inspired by Northern Michigan lake houses,

this aesthetic direction channels the natural

& home-grown feel of a cottage, modernized.

Raw materials and a warm, hand made look

make this style the home-away-from-home,

right in the center of the Taubman Center.

Skinning

Function + Aesthetics

We took our finalized floorplan and began to

skin it with furniture and materials matching

each of our styleguides. We went back to the

student body to decide on the school’s favorite

style to move forward with the execution.

The Barrier BarFINAL FEATURE:

The are in which we are building in is a primary route of

egress.

This means we have to stick to strict fire code, which

initially stated that we must put up walls to contain

any freestanding furniture. To counter this and keep

the area open, we created a “barrier” with a fixed bar

to corral all of the free-moving tables and chairs within

the boundaries.

The Bleachers

We wanted to make the windows as accessible as possible.

FINAL FEATURE:

To do this, we are constructing a dual-level bleacher

seat on the window wall with small coffee tables and

soft seats on the perimeter. The bleachers allow for

you to use the ledge as you please - a bench, extra

table space, extra seating space, etc. This was inspired

by observing how people used benches and stoops in

parks and malls.

The Viewing Bar

Every student at CCS has used the Imaging Center at least once.

FINAL FEATURE:

That means that every student had to wait for their

prints to be ready. The imaging center does not have any

waiting area, however. Because our area is in eyeshot

of the IC, we positioned bar stools facing directly at the

entrance to serve as a spot to sit and wait.

The Family Table

At the center of the space is the family table.

FINAL FEATURE:

At the center of the space is the family table. This can

be used for anything - eating, working, meeting, talking,

relaxing. This was inspired by the social qualities that

the cafeteria tables in the school displayed.

The Wall

Towering over the rest of the space is the frosting, the focal

point of the space: The Green Wall + Coffee Bar.

FINAL FEATURE:

Here is where you can purchase gourmet Nespresso

Coffee from the dedicated vending machine and press

it in the middle of a beautiful verticle garden.

Installing now

We are slated to have all pieces installed by Dec 14.

After 3 months of iterations with the executive

committee, we have contracted custom furniture

fabricators, purchased all seating and lighting, and

are currently installing all of the space under budget.

Temperature Control

Energy Savings

Tertiary Functions

Consumers use their existing thermostat most to adjust their temperature.

Second on their mind is the opportunity to save money by utilizing the thermostat as efficiently as possible.

Consumers are least worried about functions such as air purification, calendar settings, and humidity control. These tertiary functions often go unused.

Hierarchy -of-

Consumer Concern

Based on interviews conducted in the Detroit & Greater Metro Detroit areas.

Existing Products

There is no mention of energy / cost savings in interfaces.

The least-important tertiary functions bog down the interface, making it very hard to use.

Most consumers know only how touse their temperature function. Allother functions are left untouched.

Existing products do not facilitate for this hierarchy correctly.
